commit 00bfe02f479688a67a29019d1228f1470e26f014 upstream
In the .read_iter and .write_iter file operations, we're accessing user-space memory while holding the inode glock. There is a possibility that the memory is mapped to the same file, in which case we'd recurse on the same glock.
We could detect and work around this simple case of recursive locking, but more complex scenarios exist that involve multiple glocks, processes, and cluster nodes, and working around all of those cases isn't practical or even possible.
Avoid these kinds of problems by disabling page faults while holding the inode glock. If a page fault would occur, we either end up with a partial read or write or with -EFAULT if nothing could be read or written. In either case, we know that we're not done with the operation, so we indicate that we're willing to give up the inode glock and then we fault in the missing pages. If that made us lose the inode glock, we return a partial read or write. Otherwise, we resume the operation.
This locking problem was originally reported by Jan Kara. Linus came up with the idea of disabling page faults. Many thanks to Al Viro and Matthew Wilcox for their feedback.
